The worst thing about people who are full of shit is when they become fans of things that you both enjoy and are a much, much greater expert on.

I think I’m in some position of authority to state that most punk rockers don’t know as much as I do about the Alternative Right, or the general umbrella of the new right. And similarly I think it’s safe to say that most people on the Alternative Right have only a cursory knowledge of punk rock.

So, as someone who is a damn near expert on both of these topics – not saying I was ever on the vanguard of either of these movements – I think I’m at least qualified to call bullshit on a recent article published by Playboy magazine.

In his latest "Nameless" Podcast, Andy Nowicki considers the case of "Based Stick Man" (or "The Alt-Knight," the moniker preferred by Andy). Just weeks after kicking major antifa ass at a Trump rally in Berkeley, California, BSM finds himself under siege from grumbling WNs, many of whom seem unwilling to accept alliances from anyone who deviates from their all-encompassing ideology.

In his book The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of the New World Order (1996) Samuel P. Huntington put forward the thesis, popular with large sections of the 'Right,' that the post-Cold-War world would be shaped by its major civilizations and their interactions.

For some it was the gently coded recognition of race that appealed, for others it was the stigmatization of Islam as a rather unpleasant civilization that rang true, so that the book became, for better or worse, a landmark of political science. This makes it an ideal starting point for considering the topic of civilizations in general and the problematic nature of the West in particular.

Western Civilization was a good thing. Starting a thousand years ago, it fell into decline, but, as is the nature of decline, this was not an absolute condition but a gradual one, overlapping some of the greatest moments of Western Civilization. Thus it seemed to be both rising and falling at the same time, but its ultimate direction was toward failure.

Between 1789 and 1968 the West fully collapsed, and all of us born after those times have inherited a vast disaster which we alternately try to save and escape from. This schizophrenic state cannot last; we must choose one, and the sensible answer is to stand and fight, saving what is good and throwing out the rest.

That requires however that we give up false allegiances. Our only allegiance can be to Western Civilization and the genetic stock of Western Europeans that produces it. Everything else is an intermediate, a symbol standing for those great things, and by misdirecting us from the reality to the symbol, these become parasites.

For the victims of the London terrorist attack, it must have felt good to look down from strumming their harps in Heaven to see the good burghers of Brussels holding a commemoration event, partly on their behalf. No doubt the high point was when the assembled citizens of this other terrorist town held their hands up to the heavens and made little heart shapes (the latest cuck symbol for “terrorist compliant” populations). As for the terrorist, one wonders if he looked down from his honoured place as a martyr in Muslim Heaven or not. I mean it must be quite frantic up there with 72 virgins on the go.

Twenty years ago, European culture in general, and Dutch culture specifically, was a source of great concern to the minds of many on the American Right. Holland in particular appeared to be a bellwether for a whole host of baleful trends, from secularization to the breakup of the family to full-on sexual permissiveness, which by then had extended to widespread acceptance of nearly every species of human sexual deviancy.

The acceptance of abortion “rights” had gone patently unchallenged for so long that by the late 1990s a child born in the Netherlands could even be terminated outside of the womb in many circumstances; moreover, legally-sanctioned euthanasia of supposed “life unworthy of life” had made a disturbing reappearance in the West for the first time since the surrender of Nazi Germany. Moreover, people all across the continent were starting to get fined or even thrown in jail for expressing politically incorrect opinions under so-called “hate speech” laws.

The internet has been a truly liberating phenomenon for many people, not least the "thought criminals" and "heretics" of the Alt-Right. The freedom of expression that it has fostered has also been hard for the old mainstream media companies, which have struggled to maintain profitability, with some of them having to transform themselves into click bait sites, but extremely tame ones in case they offend their shrinking pool of advertisers.

In addition to the old, dying media, there are others who would dearly love to re-close what they see as the "Pandora's box" of free expression and the market place of ideas that the internet has birthed. These include Western governments, the establishment, the Deep State, and the SPLC, in fact all those who were shaken by Donald Trump's meme-powered march to the White House. But how to do it?

99 years ago today the most important event of the 20th century took place, the launch of the last great German offensive in World War One. WWII was merely a post-script to what happened on that day.

By early 1918, the Germans were in a tight spot. Although Russia had been knocked out of the War by the Bolshevik Revolution and the agreement of Brest-Litovsk, which had ceded enormous territories, the Germans and their Allies were suffering the effects of the prolonged British naval blockade and deep discontent on the home front, with war weariness and strikes breaking out. Also, they were facing the prospect of millions of fresh American troops arriving in the months ahead.

The Dutch election results are still coming in and the final tally won't be confirmed for several days, but already exit polls are painting a picture of what happened.

The anti-Islamic Freedom Party, the only party worth supporting in this election, made some gains, going up from 15 seats to a projected 19 seats. This is a disappointing result as the Freedom Party was riding high in opinion polls one week before the election, and was then projected to get 30 seats.

The main cuckservative party, the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy of Prime Minister Mark Rutte is projected to get 31 seats, a loss of 10 seats, but the biggest loser of the night is the Labour Party, traditionally the main Leftist party, which collapsed.

In his latest "Nameless" Podcast, Andy Nowicki discusses a recent incident at Jenifer Lokken's anti-feminist "The Rational Redhead" Facebook page, in which one male reader, when invited to join the page, refused, declaring that "The Rational Redhead" must be a CIA honeytrap to collect intel on Alt-Righters, because Mrs. Lokken is just too pretty to be for real.

"You men need to check your hormones and quit being suckered," he wrote. "If you insist on staying in the group, be careful what you say, for it will be used against you."

From the Financial Times, an intriguing article entitled “White self-interest is not the same thing as racism: Accepting that all groups have legitimate interests fosters mutual understanding”:

"Modern liberals tend to believe that preference for your own ethnic group or even your own nation is a form of racism. Conservatives regard it as common sense and resent being labelled as racist…The question of legitimate ethnic interest is complex. Multiculturalism is premised on the rights of minorities to maintain certain traditions and ways of life. But liberals have usually been reluctant to extend such group rights to majorities…As Eric Kaufmann argues in a new Policy Exchange paper, accepting that all groups, including whites, have legitimate cultural interests is the first step toward mutual understanding."

The barrier wall, constructed of the illusion that racism is the ultimate evil, that any majority self-interest is racism, and that nationalism is unacceptable, has now permanently fractured. The concept of “racism” has died, just as the notion that diversity can work has disintegrated. There is no longer any faith in these ideological concepts.

I must confess to a certain unedifying, if only occasional, habit: poring over the stories of people who got themselves hurt or killed through breathtaking displays of stupidity. Such online rubber-necking is popularly catered for by the Darwin Awards website; but I tend to find more cause for morbid fascination in the antics of a class of people who might be termed 'Doolittles'.

The Doolittle, as the name suggests, is a person who thinks that he or she can make friends with dangerous wild animals. A common pattern is for the Doolittle to experience a long run of luck with this unwise show of affection, which gives rise to an inner conviction of his or her "special connection" with the predatory species of choice, before the fantasy is dispelled in a few violent moments and with a great deal of blood. Unfortunately, what might be a case of individual natural deselection often results in the death or injury of sane bystanders, for Doolittles are hardly shy about dragging other people into their lunacy.

Get used to it. Hate is on the rise. It is now endemic and ever present, like the very air we breathe. This is what the last Presidential election proved, and all subsequent elections will only hammer that nail in further until the plank it is embedded in splinters into a thousand shards of wood.

This new ever-present hatred is continually showing up in opinion polls, like the latest one from Suffolk University, Boston, where everyone and everything is more disliked than liked.

The scientific and psychiatric worlds were aghast and amazed yesterday by a new German breakthrough which allows even unqualified operatives, like police officers and journalists, to instantaneously diagnose mental illness in seconds.

The breakthrough came at a Dusseldorf train station, where a man of Muslim background was instantly diagnosed as "mentally ill" after going on a rampage with an axe and seriously injuring seven people. His race and religion were of absolutely no importance.

YouTube vlogger State of the Nation gives his usual, highly informed analysis of the French Presidential election, where, it seems, almost all the main candidates are embroiled in some sort of scandal.

Alternative Right contributor and film director Richard Wolstencroft joins Andy Nowicki and Colin Liddell to discuss the latest Oscars and look back at the classic era of 1970s cinema, including the original "Planet of the Apes" series.

(Sebastiaan Biehl is a German-born man who moved to South Africa and settled in the Afriakner mini-ethnostate of Orania in 2004. Read more about his story here.)

Living in Orania, the Afrikaner ethnic hometown

After 12 years in Orania, life seems quite normal and natural and indeed it should be. I guess it is not so different from life in a rural American town. On a typical day, we go to work (most of us work in the city limits of Orania), which takes us about 5 to 10 minutes, by car, on foot, by bicycle or with the local bus. Everybody speaks Afrikaans everywhere. After work, we do our shopping in small shops all over town, where everybody greets everybody and often chats a few words; we visit our neighbours or friends after work, go to the cinema or the restaurant, have a barbecue on Saturday, go to church on Sundays. Children play outside after school, up to dawn, go to the swimming-pool, ride their bicycles, play sport and games.

In his latest "Nameless" Podcast, Andy Nowicki tells how he became convinced that our cultural commissars are now engaged in a low-key, low-frequency, subtle 'soft sell' to de-stigmatize pedophiliac and pederastic sexual practices.

Hitler's intentions were very clear to anyone who bothered to read Mein Kampf, and the same can be said about Donald Trump and his speeches. The speech he gave a week or so ago to a joint session of Congress was the most high profile and important speech he has given yet, and comes after five weeks of frenetic activity by his administration. It is therefore well worth examining for clues as to what Trump's vision and intentions are.

The clarity of the vision was partly obscured by some distracting PC touches. But, taken in context, with other statements by the President, a fairly coherent picture emerges of what Trump thinks it is possible for him to achieve.

Big media has steadily been pushing the gay agenda for decades, something the public have reluctantly put up with, because it has been in relatively small doses. But now it looks like the TV companies have gone too far, after they rolled out a number of big budget, gay-themed TV shows that flopped disastrously with viewers.

ABC's "When We Rise," an eight-hour drama miniseries depicting the "struggles" of LGBT activists in the "bad old days" when people actually had moral standards, was blatant in its characterization of gay activists as heroic idealists and the public as low-browed homophobes.

10) "I would never vote for a warmonger. For the sake of future generations, we must seek peace instead of provoking conflict."

9) "All of this anti-Russia hysteria-- this looking for dangerous subversives under every bed-- is silly and embarrassing. Really, it's nothing more than a politically-motivated witch hunt. Knock it off, already!"

Love can die. Sometimes it dies hard, and with a vengeance. What happens to it
afterwards? Does it proceed to its final judgment, then pass on to some eternal
realm, be it Heaven or Hell? Or does it limp along in some pallid, spectral
form like Caesar's ghost, oppressively ever-present even when it has seemingly
vanished?

What of cases where love's collapse is expressly and tragicallyunilateral, expressly violating the consent of the
formerly-loved? As Rick Springfield semi-famously observed, "Love hurts when only one's in love." Or as the J. Geils Band more succinctly put it,
"Love stinks."
